DRAFT CONSTITUTION 443
Shri V. S. Sarwate : I do not wish to press it.
The amendment was, by leave of the Assembly, withdrawn.
[Four other amendments were negatived.]
Article 25, as amended, was adopted and added to the Constitution.
ARTICLE 26
*Mr. Vice-President: We then come to article 26. The motion before the House is :
That article 26 form part of the Constitution. Amendment No. 809 is of a negative character and therefore disallowed.
(Amendment No. 810 was not moved.)
Amendments Nos. 811 and 812 are of similar import. I should say they are almost identical. I allow 811 to be moved.
The Honourable Dr. B. R. Ambedkar : Sir, I move :
“That in article 26 for the words ‘guaranteed in’ the words ‘conferred by’ be substituted.”
This part does not guarantee but only confers these rights. Therefore to bring the language in conformity, I propose this amendment.
[Amendment of Dr. Ambedkar alone was adopted. Article 26 as amended was adopted and added to the Constitution.]
ARTICLE 27
† Mr. Vice-President : Amendments Nos. 817 and 818 are to be considered together. 817 may be moved ; it stands in the name of Dr. Ambedkar.
The Honourable Dr. B. R. Ambedkar : Sir, I move.
“That for clause (a) of article 27 the following be substituted :
‘(a) with respect to any of the matters which under clause (2a) of article 10, article 16, clause (3) of article 25, and article 26, may be provided for by legislation by Parliament, and,’ ”
The object of introducing this addition of clause (2a) of article 10 is because this is a new clause which was adopted by this House. It is, therefore, necessary to make a reference to it in this article.
